Hello Jet Families! We are in the home stretch of the school year with only 14 days remaining of school.
Congratulations to our band for another wonderful band review. A special thanks to the parents who took on this huge project and made it happen, despite the rain and other obstacles. Our students are so lucky to such a wonderful booster group!
